Who stands to gain most from such a plan?
Basically anyone who is dissatisfied with the current state of their health care delivery system, but specifically: • Self-insured people, especially young families, who are unable to pay the ever-higher premiums of standard insurance. • Small businesses who find group health plans non-responsive to their employees needs. • Patients who get most of their care from their family doctor anyway and rarely need specialty referrals. • Those who need longer than standard visits to deal with multiple problems at a time. • Elderly or disabled patients who find transport for multiple visits burdensome, and who might need an occasional home visit when transportation is not available. • Busy people whose time is too valuable to waste waiting around for doctors’ offices to get back to them or respond to their needs. • Those who miss having a personal and working relationship with a doctor who knows and CARES about them.
